Can of worms . . . I know.

How old should it be then? 10, 15, 20 years?

In Holland if a car is over 25 years old you don't need to pay roadtaxes anymore . . . and it's called a classic then.

I'm asking this because Ace Cafe is having a Classic Car Night June 10th. I managed to reserve 12 spaces for us PHers. Some friends have 80s and 90s cars that I regard as classics, dunno if the Ace does as well though. I want to have the proper arguements.

;)

. . . and about 8 more cars please. PM if you can make it and want your classic wheels at the Ace display.

People that love their own cars beyond financial sense...
Ah, that's why I can't part from my '95er. A set of new tires has more value than the whole carwink

Good definition though, justifies why a DB4 GT changes from owner for 1m euros . . .

I'm going to Spa 6 end of Sept. To watch classic cars you may presume.

Wrong, to watch reps of classic cars.

Do I care: not the slightest bit!
